I've sad a million times that Korea would make a great setting for a game. It was a relatively stand-up war, the body count was actually in the usual range of Call of Duty single player missions, and it wasn't all in dense jungle.
I think prestiging is the dumbest thing ever. Some of these challenges are pretty hard to pull off, and to wipe them off your record is just frustrating. Oh, looks like I have to kill two people with one bullet again. The game already forces you to use a variety of weapons to complete challenges, I don't seen the need besides for bar filling.
Worrying about unlocking those is silly. Shoot manz. Have fun.
Right, that's why they have titles & emblems. They show that you got the particular challenge done, and you only do them again if you want the exp.
I just like having something to work towards.
I would aim for them when I used to care about leveling, but then I realized that I wouldn't even have the satisfaction of seeing that I had done it once I prestiged. I would accept the titles as a substitute, but they don't have the same "You've accomplished this out of these tasks" feel to them, plus they don't have a title for all of them, (I didn't get a title for backstabbing a guy who had hurt me).
I kind of saw the challenges as achievements. I usually don't go for them, but there's satisfaction in seeing what I had accomplished over my hours of gaming. But to have all my achievements wiped out just so I could have custom slots seems rather annoying. Especially considering how much you have to grind for so many of them.

I understand....I guess they were kind of caught in between. If people were going to be prestiging, they'd be whining at all the missed opportunities for points. They probably could've done a little better in making some things work across prestiges.
They could've done a little better in a lot of things. I'm pretty sure I hate this game. I'm definitely done playing with pubbies...PA parties only for me from now on.

TDME if no one is on. Music up and the volume on my tv down.
When i'm not with a PA group and i'm doing 3rd person team tact. matches. I think i'm the only one that enjoys playing that type of gamemode, it's pretty fun. I can understand some BS things like people hiding behind cover and coming out when they got the perfect shot but I still enjoy it.
Also I gotta start taking burtle's advice with the whole enemy placement thing, because i'm tired of getting shot from behind. I'm pretty sure i'm not gonna like the RPD since i'm a run and gun guy and I notice people keep telling me I gotta ADS more(which is true). So probably SMG's will be working better for me in the long run. Also I only started using the PP2000 because Scatman was saying how awesome it was, so I gave it a try and it's pretty awesome.
I like filling bars so I like prestiging. The addition of new custom slots and the opportunity to use new guns is great too.
I've only got one gun left to master: Mini-Uzi.
So very very close. I'll probably use secondaries more after this. That is, until I hit 70 and unlock the AK.
e: And on the topic of the Vector, it never really made sense to me for it to be that weak. The MP5K and UMP do the same damage despite the MP5 shooting 9mm while the UMP shoots .45. The Vector shoots .45 too but is much weaker than the UMP.

See, the best part of the PP2000 is whenever a game ends and you fucking dominated them with it, you can say "So guys, I see that you enjoy the pee-pee?"
Hoho, juvenile humor. I share your sentiment about LMGs; they're so goddamn slow. I'm not patient enough for that shit. ARs are as slow as I'll use.
Most of my problems with this game could be solved with dedicated servers and the removal of prestiging.
You know prestiging isn't required? Therefore it does not need removing. Your other wish will never happen.
Okay, you're right, let me amend that statement.

It's a reward for playing this game too much. You're basically complaining that people who play the game more get better things.

Also, I have 10 slots.
Yes, that is exactly what I'm complaining about. I mean, I'm fine with you getting fancy titles and emblems and crap that I'll never get, and all the recognition shit. But I do think it's over kill to have to dump that much time into the game if you just want more customization slots.
But you're still killing mans. Why is it a bad thing? If they didn't have prestige I have a feeling the online community wouldn't be nearly as booming.
I don't have the time or patience to kill that many mans for what I consider a convenience that only gives you an in game advantage if you use a lot of army of one. You essentially have to completely unlock the multiplayer game in its entirety nine times just for this convenience.
If you guys think that's fine, well, there's no hard and fast rule for this sort of shit. So we'll have to just agree to disagree.
Hell, why don't they just make it so you can prestige as many times as you want. Then they'll just start putting numbers on your skull coin.

Well man, you can just buy your 10 slots if you want.
Sniper with thermal, sniper without thermal, FAMAS with FMJ/ACOG with Stinger, FAMAS with FMJ/ACOG with SPAS, Running class (marathon/lightweight with whatever guns), Riot Shield class...
That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure I can come up with 10 easily.
I had my second flawless match in GW. Went 24-0. Got lotsa kills with my AC-130. Yay!
Also I've started using Danger Close, which I've never used before. I feel like a jerk running scav and nube toobing everyone on Domination but I want DC Pro for the extra killstreak damage. That way I can make a class specifically with DC pro to switch to when I get like an AC-130 or Stealth bomber, etc.
e: And on the topic of the Vector, it never really made sense to me for it to be that weak. The MP5K and UMP do the same damage despite the MP5 shooting 9mm while the UMP shoots .45. The Vector shoots .45 too but is much weaker than the UMP.
not to mention that the gun was designed specifically to drastically reduce recoil, of which the Vector's doesn't seem all that different from the other SMG's in-game

You're right. I have to change my ACOG/lightweight sniper to a FMJ/cold blooded build (thermal if I feel like trolling) every damn time Wasteland comes up. I often change my Hardline RPD build to Cold Blooded as well, just in case. You can't risk it on Wasteland. And if I forget to change it back afterwards it's just uncomfortable.
And with only 5 slots, the AA build really hurts. Yeah, you can make it into something that works, but with CB and Stinger being required, it's never quite the class you want it to be. On the bright side, you learn how to make cflexible classes. My slots are:
AA with silenced TAR. Air support, stalking, and my general (if subpar) AR class.
Shield with the witch set-up as well.
Vector running class with Thumper. Switch to Scav and Danger Close if I want to blow things up.
RPD Hardline build, for team support. Sadly, that means no SP LMG for just wrecking people.
WA2000 with ACOG, and M1014. Sleight of Hand Pro and Lightweight Pro. So I can either be a rifleman or a shotgun dude.
There's no vanilla AR class and no demo man class. Two more slots would be nice, but if I could just have one more I'd blend the two into another flexiclass.

If it's another WWII entry I am going to laugh quite hard
Man, I want to shoot mans with an EBR. Chemistry class is taking forever.
Also, Vietnam settings always sound like a better idea then they really are.
There really haven't been any Vietnam games of note outside of Battlefield.
What I've wondered is, how come we haven't seen any based on Korea? It almost seems like it literally is the forgotten war.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
I've sad a million times that Korea would make a great setting for a game. It was a relatively stand-up war, the body count was actually in the usual range of Call of Duty single player missions, and it wasn't all in dense jungle.

10 slots isn't enough, by the way. I want 15.
Hell, I'm struggling what to do with seven.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure I can come up with 10 easily.
Enter a hacked lobby. You know those messages asking for MS Points in return for 10th prestige? Yeah.
To answer your questions Quaz, I don't know if you can on the PC version, but google searching is probably your best bet.
Something about it also strikes me as not worth more than a buck.
I'mma drop dat 105 into yo face, THROUGH THE WINDOW.
